How did you find PF?
I searched for a scientific discussion app in AI. And it recommended this.
Hi everyone,

I'm waiting for my university entrance. I have an interest in Astronomy. I've come here to learn new ideas about Astronomy and discuss my ideas with fellow people. And I hope to meet new Astro lovers.

Thank you.

Please be sure to read the PF Rules (see INFO at the top of the page). We do not allow personal speculation or discussing unpublished work here. We discuss mainstream science as published in the scientific literature (peer-reviewed journals and mainstream textbooks). Thank you.

Do people not give reps here a lot? Rep to post ratio of almost every user I’ve seen on here is really bad

By "reps" do you mean likes and other reactions? If so, you can look at the information about our Members (under About at the top of the page) to see users with the Highest Reaction Scores and Most Points:

Also, we've only had the "Like" reaction system in place for the last few years at PF, so many of the established users had many posts before the system existed. That could explain why the ratio is a bit lower than websites that have had the Like system in place for a longer time. :smile:

Yes being positive reactions


I am other forums (not really academic forums like this one) and people exchange reps a lot (it’s not uncommon for someone to have 5,000 posts and 40,000 reaction score/reps), so I just found it interesting

Interesting. Does rhis forum not use xenoforo to host? It sure looks like it does.

It a question of discernment. You have to earn your likes here!
